Solar Power, Electrification & Sustainability

11 March 2024

Electrification involves replacing technologies that use fossil fuels e.g. oil, coal, natural gas
with alternatives that run on electricity. Sustainability involves developing & using
technologies that use renewable energy sources. Solar Power (PV) is one example, but
integrating this technology into our homes can be tricky.


That’s why Wylex offers a range of PV consumer units. Wylex PV consumer units are
factory built and pre-wired so that installation time is easier & quicker.


Ready to Install
Wylex PV consumer units include two double pole isolators, one for the grid supply, and one
for the solar power supply. Both isolators are lockable.


Wylex PV consumer units include a 30mA type A, two pole bidirectional RCBO for the power
supply to the inverter. Bidirectional devices should be used wherever bidirectional current
flow is expected in normal operation.


Wylex PV consumer units are supplied with a DIN mounted electricity meter that will record
how much electricity is generated by the PV system. This is more than useful to know it can
be a source of revenue if the mains electricity supplier is willing to purchase excess units
(KWh) produced.

PV Consumer Unit Range
The range includes main switch, split load, and high integrity consumer units with up to 14
usable ways, enough for a full installation alongside the PV. Theres also an add on PV only
unit for use where the existing consumer unit can stay in service.
